weird, but that's how it is. If it were a symbol or punctuation, you couldn't use it in function names like fº.
"Weird", but that's how Spanish at least treats it; it's a visually distinct lowercase "o" (along with the visually distinct lowercase "a", "ª") which indicates gender on an abbreviated ordinal ("primero" => "1º", "primera" => "1ª"; by convention they are raised, but "1o"/"1a" are equally valid). - -- brandon s. allbery [linux,solaris,freebsd,perl] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkyK37UACgkQIn7hlCsL25XPcACgmOhZ/0rM05l1/bPQ2EJNLZZS 87UAoIeyBNAefnbctVB0Ld7hrovRX4R5 =Qyau -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
